About the licensing

The app is completely free and same features as before, no license is needed for previous features. All maps it currently contains are free. Free features are always kept updated.
Some advanced features (e.g. custom map provider and future features) need a pro license.

You can find out how to get a pro license here: https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/wiki/License

Hi, is it possible to add a parameter to let the program shut down gracefully (by removing the entries in the hosts file) from within a batch file? Like "MSFS2020 Map Enhancement.exe /s" or similar?? Right now I can do it with " taskkill /im "MSFS2020 Map Enhancement.exe" ", but that is somewhat 'brute force'...

Mod is very good, but I can't make 1 flight if I want, without Google blocking me, which is very discouraging for those who purchased the pro version.

Kaszana - działał w pierwszym wydaniu, każde następne do niczego. Wszystko wyczyszczone jak mówią w FAQ, antywirus również i zapora na OFF i zero efektów. Wiecie może czy wersja płatna działa jak należy?

My antivirus is fighting with it. Don't trust that add-on.

How does the cache handle different providers? Does it store both providers when using different ones in the same place, or the last provider used erases the previous one? Thanks for the mod!

Hallo
Ich habe das Tool jetzt zweimal ausprobiert und kann eigentlich davor nur warnen. Beim Fliegen habe ich am Boden an vielen Stellen ein gelb-rot-blaues Karo-Muster gehabt, welches dann auch nach der Deinstallation des Tools erhalten blieb. Ich musste den Flusi neu installieren, nur den Inhalt des Official-Ordners habe ich gelassen. Meine hier heruntergeladenen Addons habe ich alle neu installiert.
Die Warnung von Microsoft vor diesem Tool scheint durchaus berechtigt zu sein.

I've tried the tool twice now and can only warn against it. When flying, I had a yellow-red-blue check pattern on the ground in many places, which remained even after uninstalling the tool. I had to reinstall the Flusi, only the contents of the official folder I left. I have reinstalled all my addons downloaded here.
Microsoft's warning about this tool seems to be quite justified.

Great addon!!! I am using normal google maps server and works like a charm! Thank you!

Did purchase pro license yesterday. Works great and looks great. Last weeks MSFS had big problems with ortho tile loading (loads too late) and this addon tackles that easily.

With the recent update, Mapbox all of a sudden requires a pro license.. WHY???

Hello and many thanks! here is my problem: When I press Start:
Failed Server Image
MS server override is not working
Please try:
Disable any global proxies
Disable any game accelerator
Create a new hosts file
What I (tried!) to do but also restart the installation; nothing helps, I always end up there, even when choosing other 'maps'
Who can help me? to encounter the same problem? THANKS...

Dezil

Bonjour et grand merci ! voici mon problème: Lorsque j'appuie sur Start:
Image Serveur Failed
MS serveur override is not Working
Please try:
Disable any global proxies
Disable any game accelerator
Create a new hosts file
Ce que j'ai (essayé!) de faire mais aussi recommencer l'installation; rien n'y fait je retombe toujours là , même en choisissant d'autres 'map'
Qui peut m'aider? à rencontrer le même problème? Merci...

prefer old version instead of new one.

doesn't work at all. Just disappears into the background and the only way to close it is via the task bar. Bring back version 5!

Ich habe das Tool gerade nochmals neu heruntergeladen, da einige Updates seit meinem letzten Test erschienen sind. Der Fehler mit den farbigen Rauten auf der Oberfläche tritt nach wie vor auf. Außerdem ist es nur noch ein Stotter-Flug, was einem dann die Lust am Fliegen gänzlich raubt. Das war mein allerletzter Versuch, das Ding installiere ich nie wieder.

I just re-downloaded the tool because some updates have been released since my last test. The error with the colored diamonds on the surface still occurs. In addition, it's just a stuttering flight, which completely robs you of the desire to fly. That was my very last attempt, I'll never install the thing again.

This map server requires a license. Please activate your license first.

For global users, please click https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/wiki/License to purchase a license

Seems I cannot use this mod. I cannot start since I always get this warning. It is not free right?

Hi, thanks very much for this recent update. Question: the new map viewer allows to navigate over the section of the map selected on the first page, or it's a standard view with one of the map servers?. I've changed the map server and the images on the map viewer seem not to change

It just you can view the map. In future it is used for batch downloading.

I have found lately that with HAGS and Optimisations for Windows Games set to ON and also Nvidia Low Latency Mode set to Ultra in driver plus FPS limitter set to max 90 as the headset stutters are kept to minimal if any. Of course a 5090 would help a lot...

zaelu

używam tego programu od kiedy wyszedł i zawsze mi działał bez problemów, nie kupował bym płatnej jak nie znajdziesz powodu dla którego nie działa darmowa u ciebie.

Stutters for me, whatever source I use, once every minute or so, even with bing maps.

Good morning,this update works flawlessly on my rig but i can't see the option to clear the photogrammetry data...

Inside the app, in "cache options" you can clear the cache. In MSFS cache must be off.

Bonjour, très alléchant ce mod..Malheureusement je bloque au lancement: la carte sélectionnée est bien "Google Maps Serveur"; j'appuie sur Start et ça bug car:
Image serveur test failed
MS serveur override is not Working Please try:
*Disable any global proxies
*Disable any game accelerateur
*Create a new hosts file
Je suis perdu (Win 11)... je n'ai pas d'antivirus et fait la manip autorisation dans le pare feu
j'ai donné l'autorisation du mode (lecture écriture)
j'ai également vidé le fichier host.
je ne sais plus..merci de ton aide (et je ne suis pas top en anglais )

Hello, this mod is very attractive. Unfortunately I'm stuck at launch: the selected map is indeed "Google Maps Server"; I press Start and it bugs because:
Server image test failed
MS server override is not Working Please try:
*Disable any global proxies
*Disable any game accelerator
*Create a new hosts file
I'm lost (Win 11)... I don't have antivirus and do the authorization manipulation in the firewall
I gave permission for the mode (read write)
I also emptied the host file.
I don't know anymore...thanks for your help
